Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-685 provides up to a 300Mbps* wireless connection to other
802.11n wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as
video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio. The performance of this 802.11n wireless router
gives you the freedom of wireless networking at speeds that are up to 650% faster than 802.11g.
• Compatible with 802.11g Devices - The DIR-685 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11g standard,
so it can connect with existing 802.11b/g PCI, USB and Cardbus adapters.
• Advanced Firewall Features - The Web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network
management features including:
• Content Filtering - Easily applied content ltering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or
Domain Name.
Features
• Filter Scheduling - These lters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a
duration of hours or minutes.
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-685 can pass through VPN sessions. It
supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-685
can securely access corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-685 lets you
control what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from
your company’s server. Congure your router to your specic settings within minutes.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g, and Draft 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network trafc, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental
conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.

Section 2 - Installation
Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the
router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, attic or garage.
Before You Begin
• Please congure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.
• The router is designed for use with the Ethernet port on your broadband modem. If you were using the
USB connection before using the router, you must turn off your modem and disconnect the USB cable.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN/Internet port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In
some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change your connection type (USB to Ethernet).
• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, be sure to disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such
as WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer. Otherwise you will not be able to connect
to the Internet.
• When running the Setup Wizard from the D-Link CD, make sure your computer is connected to the
Internet and is online, otherwise the wizard will not work. If you have disconnected any hardware, rst
re-connect your computer to the modem and make sure you are online.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The DIR-685 lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating
range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or
other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Ranges vary depending on the types
of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or ofce. The key to maximizing the wireless
range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum.
Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters.) Position your
devices so that the number of walls and/or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters), at a
45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet
(14 meters) thick. Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead
of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open
doorways and drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, brick, insulation, concrete and water can affect
wireless performance. Large objects such as sh tanks, mirrors, le cabinets, metal doors and aluminum
studs may also have a negative effect on range.
4. Keep your product at least 3 to 6 feet (1-2 meters) away from electrical devices or appliances that
generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, make sure that the 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from
your wireless device as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use. In some
cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as ceiling fans, uorescent
lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.
13D-Link DIR-685 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
Connect to Cable/DSL/Satellite Modem
If you are connecting the router to a cable/DSL/satellite modem, please follow the steps below:
1. Place the router in an open and central location. Do not plug the power adapter into the router.
2. Turn the power off on your modem. If there is no on/off switch, unplug the modem’s power adapter. Shut down your
computer.
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable (that connects your computer to your modem) from your computer and place it into the
WAN port on the router.
4. Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the four LAN ports on the router. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port on
your computer.
5. Turn on or plug in your modem. Wait for the modem to boot (about 30 seconds).
6. Plug the power adapter into the router and connect to an outlet or power strip. Wait about 30 seconds for the router
to boot up.
7. Turn on your computer.
8. Verify that the Power LED and the LCD display on the router are lit. If the Power LED does not light up, make sure
your computer, modem, and router are powered, on and verify that the cables connected correctly.
9. Skip to page 18 to congure your router.

Section 2 - Installation
Connect to Another Router
If you are connecting the D-Link router to another router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have
to do the following before connecting the router to your network:
• Disable UPnP
• Disable DHCP
• Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot
accept a DHCP address from another router.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
1. Plug the power into the router. Connect a computer to the router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable. Make sure
your IP address on the computer is 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). Please see the Networking
Basics section for more information. If you need to change the settings, write down your existing settings before
making any changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to receive an IP address automatically, in which
case you will not have to do anything to your computer.
2. Open a web browser, type http://192.168.0.1 into the address bar, and press Enter. When the login window appears,
set the user name to Admin and leave the password box empty. Click Log In to continue.
3. Click on Advanced and then click Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click Save Settings
to continue.
™
4. Click Setup and then click Network Setup. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server server checkbox. Click Save Settings
to continue.
5. Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet mask of your network. Click Save Settings to
save your settings. Use this new IP address to access the conguration utility of the router in the future. Close the
browser and change your computer’s IP settings back to the original values as in Step 1.

Section 2 - Installation
6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer to your network.
7. Connect an Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug
anything into the WAN/Internet port of the D-Link router.
8. You may now use the other 3 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers. To congure your wireless
network, open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to the Conguration and
Wireless Security sections for more information on setting up your wireless network.
